How are electronic sensitive devices (ESD) indicated on the item record?

Electronic sensitive devices (ESD) are indicated on the item record using Type cargo code 3. This specific code is designated for materials that require special handling due to their susceptibility to damage from electrostatic discharge. By using Type cargo code 3, personnel handling these items are made aware of the precautions necessary to prevent damage during storage and transportation, enhancing the overall safety and integrity of sensitive electronic items.

In warehouse operations, coding items correctly ensures that all personnel understand the specific requirements for handling, storage, and transportation. Each cargo code serves a unique purpose, representing various categories of items, and Type cargo code 3 is specifically tailored for ESDs, setting clear expectations for the handling procedures associated with these devices.
